If it is 20% better than a 780ti I might be tempted to upgrade from my 780 to one as it should be a 25-30% increase which I won't mind paying for unless they come in at £600.
Despite lack of die shrink, it looks like the Maxwell architecture has improved performance per watt dramatically. GTX 880 SLI at 450Watts is very impressive if still on 28nm.
These cards will be great for people on older cards like GTX 580. A decent upgrade, hopefully GTX 780 Ti performance at lower price and much better performance per watt. We could see 8GB version as well. I have no doubt these will still sell a ton despite people being bored with 28nm..
They might even convince me (; Lack of funds mean I may have to hold out anyway
Next year I can see these being re-spun on 20nm and sold as midrange, while GM210 (Titan / GTX 880Ti) takes flagship position..

If its true, then yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if it was 10% faster than a 780ti and just have the power draw and thermals/accoustics as the main selling point until the 880 ti card or titan refresh using maxwell is released.
If these are ~ £400, are a decent bit faster than a 780Ti and have the power draw that is hinted, i may well sell my two 670's and get one.
Then stick another one in sli when the gk110 equivalent part comes out and the 880's are going for peanuts (a la 670/680 stock clearance bargains)

No they won't cost that much...
They most likely only cost £599............
I would imagine around £400 as these are the GK104 equivalent parts

The last time I made a big claim, I was wrong by 15 months
So might as well go for a double header..... I don't think that the 880 GTX G1 will be faster than the 780Ti and will probably be ~ a 780 performance @ 1080P for £350.
Can't wait to be wrong

I hope so. I have a massive upgrade itch
I cant see Nvidia releasing the 880 nearly a year and a half after the 780 and it having the same power and for the same price.....

You know you'll buy one.

Ha, would love to mate. I'm skint !
Being poor might actually be good for me
No more upgrade shenanigans for a while..

I've still no idea what to expect with these.

I find it funny how both AMD and Nvidia seem to be bringing to the table new GPU's in a few months, but both seem to be nothing more than rehashed cards with a lower power draw. Do you think they were both trying to get something big out to beat the other (namely full phat maxwell) and realised it just wasn't possible so decided to launch a half ass card to just milk more money in the run up to proper Maxwell?
Seems like a really pointless launch for both Nvidia and AMD if you ask me.

Last I read AMD are not bringing out anything "highend" just mid range replacement stuff.
If Nvidia are releasing the GTX 880 is has to be better than the 780Ti otherwise the whole naming system just becomes a joke.
yet the rumours are a $500 price tag so unless its really cheap to make, they are almost shooting themselves in the foot as they must be making loads on the 780's by now.

If the GTX 880 isn't faster than a 780Ti it would really be a fail (one that still sells out as per the script for NVIDIA).
It will be faster.
